Boulder rolls over home, smashes car along Kennon Road
A boulder came tumbling down the mountain along Kennon Road in Benguet on Saturday afternoon, crushing a home and smashing a car as Baguio City and other areas in the upland province continued to be pummeled by heavy rains. In a Facebook post, the Baguio City government said the incident occurred at 1:15 p.m. in Camp 7 of Kennon Road. A dog was killed while no human casualties were reported. The house, which was built near the road, was empty as the family residing in the structure was evacuated as amid the effects of Tropical Storm Crising and the southwest monsoon or habagat. Response teams were deployed at the scene to investigate and provide necessary assistance. The city's social welfare and development office were set to attend to the needs of the affected residents. "Kennon Road remained closed as of 4 p.m. due to 'continuous rockfall at the entrance of the rockshed,'" the Baguio City government said, quoting the Department of Public Works and Highways Cordillera. According to its 4 p.m. forecast bulletin, state weather bureau PAGASA said the southwest monsoon continues to affect the country as Crising remains outside of the Philippine Area of Responsibility. Benguet was among the areas in the Cordillera Administrative Region which were expected to experience occasional rains due to the habagat. Floods or landslides in these provinces were possible due to moderate to heavy rains, PAGASA said. — VDV, GMA Integrated News

Crising packs maximum sustained winds of 75 kph and gusts of up to 90 kph. PAGASA warned of heavy rainfall, gale-force winds enhanced by the monsoon, risks of storm surges, and rough sea conditions in several affected areas nationwide. A gale warning has also been hoisted over the northern seaboard of Northern Luzon. Landfall on Friday Meanwhile, minimal to moderate risk of storm surge with estimated heights of 1 to 2 meters was predicted in Batanes, Cagayan, Ilocos Norte, and Ilocos Sur. Crising will continue to move northwestward within the next 12 hours. It may make landfall over mainland Cagayan or the Babuyan Islands by Friday afternoon or evening. It is predicted to intensify into a Severe Tropical Storm by Friday afternoon, and exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) at about the same time. Potential threats PAGASA is also monitoring the activity of Tropical Depression Crising and several tropical cyclone-like vortices that may develop into cyclones inside the PAR over the next two weeks. In its 2 p.m. threat potential forecast, PAGASA said Crising continues to move towards the northern Luzon area, while a tropical cyclone-like vortex may possibly form near northern Luzon within PAR. The said vortex has a high chance of developing into a cyclone within the forecast period of July 18 to 25. In the following days of July 26 to 31, this vortex is expected to move towards Taiwan-Ryuku as another one forms inside the PAR and the Tropical Cyclone Advisory Domain (TCAD), with a low chance of becoming a cyclone. A third vortex is expected to develop within the PAGASA Monitoring Domain (PMD), and may possibly be the remnants of Tropical Storm Crising. — VDV, GMA Integrated News

In a 10 a.m. update, PAGASA said the LPA was located 1,960 kilometers east northeast of extreme northern Luzon as of 8 a.m. "As of 8:00 AM today, 11 July 2025, the Low Pressure Area (07d), outside the PAR, has a HIGH potential of developing into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours," PAGASA said. Meanwhile, another LPA, which is a remnant of Tropical Cyclone Bising (international name: Danas), remained outside the PAR and is unlikely to redevelop into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours. PAGASA said in its 24-hour public weather forecast that the southwest monsoon or habagat is expected to affect the country. Occasional rains are expected over Western Visayas, Negros Island Region, Palawan, and Occidental Mindoro. Flash floods or landslides are possible due to moderate to heavy rains.
